I think you will find that the rest of the industry in the UK has already been down this road and not every airline has survived the process. I appreciate that T & C have been under threat at BA for many years but they always stood head and shoulders above the rest of us in the first place. I wish you luck in your endeavours but I remain unconvinced by your argument that passengers, the reason you exist in the first place, are 'collateral damage'.
